Your frequently asked questions

1. Do an assignment
If your profile interests us, you’ll be invited for an assessment connected to the role you applied for and the expertise required for it. For example, software-focused candidates are asked to solve a technical challenge, whereas consulting profiles are presented with a test requiring basic supply chain knowledge.

2. Talk to HR
Passed the assessment successfully? Congrats! Now let’s get to know each other. One of our recruiters will listen to your story, your interests, and ambitions, and explain what we can offer you. We know there’s much more to you than just your degrees and skills. Meeting in person is a great way to see if we click.

3. Get to know your manager and future teammates
Next, your hiring manager will put your expertise to the test and dig a little deeper into your know-how, preferences and ambitions. Together, you’ll discuss your options and draft the plan for your career at OMP.

4. Meet your director or the CEO
You might expect that’s where it ends. But at OMP, it doesn’t. To be sure we get along, we schedule a meet and greet with your future team director. Strategic positions require an adapted approach. For senior, tailor-made and new positions, we arrange for you to meet our CEO in person. We believe that flat hierarchy and short communication lines yield the best results.

5. Sign your contract
All set to go? If we both feel the click and agree on the terms, we’ll finalize your contract offer and talk you through the details. Welcome to OMP! We look forward to onboarding you.

It depends on how well your profile, skills, and personality match the job requirements and our culture. And then, we have to make the calendars work. We want you to meet part of your future team and management, so you can feel the company vibe and make the right decision.

Where possible, we’ll combine multiple interviews in one day. Applying for junior and standard positions takes about 2 weeks on average. Management, new or tailor-made positions typically involve more iterations and alignment meetings, so it could take some weeks longer.

The dress code at OMP is business casual. There’s no need to show up in formal attire unless that is your strong preference. We dress nicely but not sloppily, and we refrain from offensive attire. You see, we’re an informal organization, where diversity and personality matter. Just be yourself. We look beyond apparel. As long as you feel comfortable, you’ll be fine.

We trust our employees and value their know-how and network. Talent attracts talent. That’s why we encourage our staff to recommend our vacancies to their friends. If their lead turns out successful, they get a bonus, their friends score an exciting job, and we grow our pool of talent.

Once we’ve decided to work together, it’s time to get you up to speed. We want your onboarding to be a personal experience, so we customize the program to your needs.

On day one, our HR team gives you a warm welcome. We’ll introduce you to your personal coach, your day-to-day coach, and your team. You’ll be equipped with your laptop, iPhone and office supplies. Next, you’ll make yourself at home in your new office and tackle your e-learning program.

During your first 4 to 6 weeks at OMP, you’ll follow an intensive training program. Classroom trainings are complemented with on-the-job learning. No stress! Your day-to-day coach is there to help you find your way around and answer your questions.

What happens next, largely depends on your profile, role, and personal learning curve. As a consultant, you can expect to join your first project during your first months at OMP. Software engineers usually dive into complex challenges and coding after a couple of weeks.

Anywhere in your first 6 to 12 months you’ll be self-managing. Your day-to-day coach then steps back. From now on, you’re an independent team member and ready to do your job.

As a new OMP employee, you’re in for an intensive training program. During your first months, we’ll walk you through the essentials. In our classroom trainings, you and other newcomers will get acquainted with everything you need to know. You’ll learn about supply chain basics, our commercial solution, OMP’s organization and processes. In parallel, you’ll grow your soft and technical skills required for your job.

On top of that, you’ll follow customized internal training programs connected to your role, interests, and ambitions.

When your onboarding is complete, we’ll encourage you to keep on learning. Our customized training program helps you deploy your talents to the full. When your job requires specialist expertise beyond the know-how of our staff, we offer all the external training you need to be successful.

At OMP, you don’t just get one coach. You get two. A day-to-day coach and a personal coach.

During the first six to twelve months, you’ll be working closely together with your day-to-day coach. As your mentor and buddy, they’ll get you up to speed, answering all the questions you may have, and filling in the blanks that your training hasn’t covered. This person is your trusted partner for deep-diving into your job, mastering procedures, and learning all the tricks of the trade. Your day-to-day coach remains at your side until you are self-managing.

In parallel, your personal coach monitors your well-being, your progress, and your career. They’ll stimulate your personal growth and development in the long run too. During monthly one-on-ones, you’ll talk about how you’re doing, what the next steps are and what you need to successfully achieve that. Also, your personal coach will be there to assist you with your annual performance reviews.

Everyone is different. We all have talents, ambitions and dreams of our own. That’s what makes us all special. We value diversity and foster personality. When it comes to career paths, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. So we give you the freedom to carve your own path. That being said, you’re never on your own. Our management, coaches, and talent experts offer you their full support.

As our business keeps on booming, our organization is constantly evolving. We keep creating roles, opening entirely new windows of opportunities for those who like a challenge. Whether you’re keen on developing, consulting, coaching, or managing, being a specialist or a generalist, it doesn’t really matter. We cater to all tastes and interests and are happy to help you reach your goals. Together we’ll find a way to boost your talents. That’s how we grow careers and keep our people happy.

Once a year, you’ll sit down together with your team lead and personal coach for a formal yearly review. During this meeting, you evaluate the past year, and discuss achievements and obstacles, including how you overcame them. If you’ve earned a bonus, promotion, or salary raise, we’ll talk about that too. Next, you’ll define new goals, objectives, and learning targets. Your yearly review is the perfect way to evaluate how you’re feeling in your job and our organization, and model your career path for an even better fit.

Personal development is key at OMP. If the path you’re on no longer excites you, switching your career path may be a good idea. At OMP, we like to design your career with you. You’re always in the driver's seat. Our talent center hosts experts that will support you as you reinvent your career path and open new horizons. With the proper motivation, skills, and curiosity from your side and a little help from us, we’ll work it out together.

If you’re eager to work abroad and it fits both your career development and our company plans, we’ll do our best to make your dream come true. We’re a truly global firm and pride ourselves on our inclusive culture. Relocation is a wonderful way to discover alternative views on the world, and boost resilience and personal growth. And you’re in luck! As our customer base keeps growing, our network of regional offices continues to expand around the globe.

We’re a dynamic, smart, and caring team, that supports personal development and puts team spirit before personal ambition. As an inclusive employer, we value diversity and pride ourselves on welcoming a wide range of talents. We’re a global player with a drive to innovate. As a growing organization, we keep finding new challenges and creating new opportunities. If all that appeals to you, we have a place for you.

We do our best to make work accessible for everyone. Our parking lots, entrances, elevators, offices, and evacuation plans are fully adapted to wheelchair users. Special display glasses are available to visually impaired employees. We embrace autism as a different way of looking at the world that enriches our vision. Talent comes in many forms and we embrace them all.

People come first at OMP. Your interests and well-being are our priority. We encourage and enable you to maintain a sustainable work-life balance by managing your own schedule. Together, we build you a career that keeps you motivated, and offer you the autonomy and tools you need to achieve your goals. Our offices are a pleasant place for both working and relaxing. We invite you to enjoy our many sports facilities or social activities after hours.

Are you feeling unsatisfied and off-balance? We keep our finger on the pulse in the monthly coaching sessions and annual reviews. There’s nothing we can’t talk about. If you need a listening ear, an in-house balance counselor is just an office away. It’s easier to find a solution together than alone.

Feeling overworked? Don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our external health experts for professional and anonymous help.

There is much more to life than work. At OMP, we go to great lengths to make work fun. Our onsite sports facilities, activities, and workout sessions are a great way to let off steam. At our head office and major regional offices, you can attend pilates and boxing sessions, functional training, yoga classes and more. We like to keep you in good shape. Both physically and emotionally. You’re very welcome for after-work drinks, game nights, quizzes or an organized evening out.

Under normal circumstances, you are free to work up to half of your time from home. Juniors and new hires typically spend more time at the office during their onboarding period (three to six months) as they attend on-site classroom training, work intensely with their day-to-day coach, and meet colleagues at their desks to integrate and get acquainted faster.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has temporarily become our new standard in most OMP offices. We meticulously follow local legislation and recommendations in the interest of your health.

The Belgian head office serves as our European training hub. At the start of their career, Asian and Latin-American colleagues typically spend a couple of months at the head office. Some strategic company meetings take place in Antwerp too. Depending on your role, your projects and the team you’re in, it may be possible that you’ll be visiting more often.

As a general rule in normal circumstances, employees working in one of our Belgian satellite offices visit the head office one day a week on average. Special working conditions and visitor restrictions apply during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business trips are not everyone’s cup of tea. Whether or not you’ll be doing a lot of them, depends on the career you’ve chosen. Software engineers rarely leave the office. Consultants typically spend a third of their time on business trips and meetings at customers’ sites. Travel intensity can vary considerably according to project and customer requirements. Personal preferences and life cycle plans obviously matter too. The bottom line? We always figure out which formula works best for you.

We encourage you to challenge yourself the healthy way. Working after office hours is not standard policy. We’re organized to serve our customers around the clock, but never at the expense of our staff. That being said, project work is known to have its peaks. At crucial moments, we’ll expect you to be flexible as well. Always as an exception. Never as the rule.

No, we don’t. Sure, our consultants are often on the road meeting our customers and guiding them through the implementation process. And at critical times in the project cycle, particularly around the go-live, they’ll spend more time at the customer’s site than usual. That being said, we’re not a classic outsourcing company that expects its employees to move from one customer to the next. At OMP, we keep our offices close to our customers so you’ll always have a desk.

The dress code at OMP is business casual. There’s no need to show up in formal attire unless that is your strong preference. We dress nicely but not sloppily, and we refrain from offensive attire. You see, we’re an informal organization, where diversity and personality matter. Just be yourself. We look beyond apparel. As long as you feel comfortable, you’ll be fine.

At our head office and the largest regional offices, lunch delivery is very popular thanks to a varied choice of caterers. Change your daily food routine by ordering an exotic sandwich, the menu of the day, or the week’s special surprise. Do you feel like pizza? Or will you go for sushi today?

We live in a digital world. Online shopping is the way to go. To make it easy for you, your packages can be delivered to our head office and most of our regional offices. Don’t worry about a thing. Your parcels are received and stored discretely. Of course, size limits do apply. But hey, you weren’t thinking of having your new washing machine delivered to your desk, were you?

On top of our salary package, we offer competitive benefits, compensation, and insurance policies aligned to local customs, regulations and market conditions. All our employees receive their own company laptop and iPhone. As a rule, everyone gets a yearly bonus in function of group results, team effort and personal contribution. Your recruiter will talk you through the details during your job interview.
